IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari made a statement to the media, addressing the barrage of missiles launched by Iran. "The Iranian regime is acting deliberately. We prevented a greater disaster. We continue to work at all times to prevent fire from Iran into our territory. I repeat – adhere to the guidelines. The Iranian terror regime is willing to harm civilians, it aims for terrorism and the murder of civilians." Hagari released the first footage from the strike on the Arak nuclear reactor, and elaborated: "Last night we continued to strike throughout Iran, and attacked Arak to prevent nuclear weapons. As the Chief of Staff emphasized, we are preventing threats."
